Myocarditis complicated by massive right ventricular thrombus and extensive pulmonary embolism: A case report.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
An intracardiac thrombus may develop as a consequence of myocarditis, and in rare cases, a dominantly right ventricular thrombus develops, which may impair cardiac function and even cause life-threatening cardiovascular events. We report a 24-year-old man presented with recurrent episodes of palpitation and precordial discomfort after catching a cold 2 months ago. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and computed tomography pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) revealed a mass attached to the apex of the right ventricle and extensive bilateral pulmonary artery emboli. There was no indication where the thrombi originated from in this young patient without any underlying disease except myocarditis. Pulmonary endarterectomy and embolectomy of pulmonary arteries and right ventricle were performed. Postoperative pathological results confirmed the presence of fibrinous necrosis and hemosiderin deposition. The formation of an intraventricular thrombus is closely related to myocarditis, which can affect individuals of all ages, but especially young people. Thus, patients with myocarditis should be closely monitored and followed up because of the increased risk of extensive thrombosis.
